Hey all,
I have a 79 Ranger 302 which had the original C4 trans removed at some point and a C6 was put in it's place.
NOW they cut the original crossmember and I cannot for the life of me find if there was ever a 79 f100 ranger equipped with a C6 and if it was i cannot find the part number to track one down. I checked here and didn't see it but I may have missed it : https://www.fordification.net/partno...rossmember.htm
What are my options
Fabricate?
Aftermarket like the one used for crown vic setups?
Here is the only pic i have of it atm as it's in the shop (circled in red)
So here is how a member modified his trans cross member so he could unbolt the middle section, to make removing the transmission easier. Maybe you can use this as a way to connect the 2 ends on your truck. https://gearstar.com/ford-c4-and-c6-...bell%20housing.
The crossmember is probably bolted and riveted in place. That is why it was cut, they were too lazy or did not have the tools to cut the rivets. Some trucks were all bolted. Years ago I had to cut the rivets on my 68 to convert from manual to C6.

I will show this to my shop guy maybe we can make something work.
